Nothing works as well as a Thermapen. And it's damned near
indestructible, too.

I got tired of thermometers that I had to "make do" with over the
years, that were not convenient, failed, were slow, etc. I spent money
replacing things that crapped out or broke.

I have had theThermapen for 6 or 7 years, and it works flawlessly,
every single day, even after being left out on the grill overnight in
a thunderstorm.

I am a believer.
